We cooked these oats the old-fashioned way. But if you're short on time, or don't want to dirty a pot, use this microwave method: In a 2-cup microwavable bowl, combine water, salt, and oats. Microwave on High until water is absorbed and oats are tender, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Stir and let stand 1 minute before adding apples, nuts, yogurt, and cinnamon. Pears and pistachios make a tasty topping, too. If you just use the toppings portion of this recipe, the SmartPoints™ value is 3 (Green, Blue, Purple).
